Film No. 87 (2017) November 17th. 7:10 PM Redmond Theatre, Ocean Reef.
"So what do you think happens to people when they die anyway?". (Pieter asks the new love in his life Charmaine, in their early days of unbridled lust).
A nasty little trip down memory lane for those who remember a couple of lost, insecure renegades caught up in a violent drug hazed road trip across the South African countryside. Charmaine Phillips (Cara Roberts) and Pieter Grundlingh (Brandon Auret) take us via flashback through their 80's rampage and the journey is not uplifting in any way. Cara Roberts is key to this fractured love story, we're never sure if she's being truthful in her reminiscences. The film is earthy and roughly cut, but that's the essence of Durban Poison. It just misses the mark. 6GUMS.
